Adeus...

Supposedly that is how you say goodbye in Portuguese (according to google.) Today Rhett is headed to the MTC in Brazil, and will serve in the Porto Alegre South Mission for 2 years.

We woke up bright and early and met Rhett and my parents at the IF airport. My dad had to drive directly to Jury duty in Pocatello afterwards, so we took my mom to breakfast and then home. Rhett wanted to say goodbye on the sidewalk, but my dad assured him we were going to help him check in. As soon as we checked him in, we snapped a few photos and in the last one below I look over and Rhett and Pat had both started to cry! Once the rest of us saw that, the tears came for all of us. Preslee was quite concerned...

We said our goodbyes and left him with over an hour to kill before his flight took off. As I looked back at him standing there I thought how crazy it is that 19 year old boys are called to find those who need the gospel in their lives! When Dustin left they seemed so old to me, looking at Rhett they seem young now! How everything works within our church is amazing.

I don't think there is a day that goes by that one of us doesn't text the other. So today will be the first :) He'll be a great missionary! Love ya Rhetters.

thats crazy! is he really that old?! Where is time going. you're right those missionarys seem so young now. he will be awesome!! love ya ash-how great him and pat have such a good relationship-brothers are the best. pres is so beautiful i can't get over it..I want her eyes!

ok after i dont know how many times i kept saying adeus (add-e-us) and wondering what the heck that stood for b/c i knew that wasnt his name. i finally just now pronounced adios out of it and realized thats probably what adeus means.. just thought i'd let ya know that!

haha.. well tys bday is in 3 weeks so i was hoping to do a bbq/slip n slide party?- haha i just think slip in slide part will be fun but who knows what the weather is going to be like & i technically cant do the slip n slide but i figured the boys would like it.. its a 3 person one.. anyways i was thinking the 19th (sat) to celebrate.. so hopefully if we havent seen yall by then we will have to get together for sure for that!

Hi, we're the Sullengers! Life turned upside down for us in 2010 when we lost our daughter in an accidental drowning. Since then, we've documented our highs (life with all five of our kids) and our lows (struggles with grief) but amongst everthing we've experienced, we know as long as we hold on to one another we can get through anything that comes our way.
